Image Add motion graphics and animations to your video to emphasize information, highlight talking points, or create a more engaging visual storytelling style. Motion graphics are AI-generated based on your instructions. They can appear as overlays during speech, fullscreen explainer slides, or contextual inserts depending on how you configure the tile.

​
How It Works

The Motion Graphics tile takes in your video and a prompt describing the type of motion graphics you want, then generates visual elements that match your style and intent. You can influence the output through:
  • Written style prompts
  • Reference links (for factual info)
  • Style reference videos (for visual style)
  • Toggle options (fullscreen vs mixed)
This gives you both stylistic control and contextual relevance. Mogr

​
Input Fields & Controls

Here’s what each field in this tile means:

​
1. Style Prompt (Required)

“What kind of motion graphics would you like?”
This is where you describe the visual style and function of the graphics. Example prompts:
  • “Cinematic Vox-style graphics that explain the talking points”
  • “Minimal tech UI diagrams with arrows and labels”
  • “Playful YouTube-style pop-up text for comedic emphasis”
  • “Infographic overlays using bold colors and icons”
Your prompt tells the AI what to generate and how it should behave visually.

​
2. Full Screen Toggle (Optional)

“Only generate full screen graphics”
When enabled:
  • Motion graphics appear as fullscreen slides
  • The speaker video may cut away entirely
  • Useful for explainers, charts, and data slides
When disabled (default):
  • Graphics appear as overlays on top of your video
  • Ideal for speaking-head, narrative, or commentary videos
“Comma-separated links that the AI will research for information.”
Use these when:
  • Your video mentions factual content
  • You want accurate terms, categories, labels, etc.
Examples:
  • Website articles
  • Product pages
  • Wikipedia links
  • Docs
Ex: 
https://mosaic.so/product, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_editing
The AI may pull concepts/terminology from these during design.

​
4. Style Reference Video (Optional)

“YouTube video for style reference.”
Paste a YouTube link if you want a specific style replicated. Examples:
  • Vox explainer video
  • Kurzgesagt science video
  • Ali Abdaal talking head with overlays
Mosaic analyzes:
  • Typography
  • Color schemes
  • Transitions
  • Animation pacing
  • Layout style
This helps achieve visual consistency closer to the reference.

​
5. Style Suggestions (Quick Buttons)

Common presets like:
  • VOX Style
  • Ali Abdaal Style
These instantly fill the prompt for you, useful if you don’t know how to describe the style.

​
Notes & Limitations (Current)

“For longer videos (over ~1–2 minutes), this node may time out. We’re actively working on this and the limitation will be removed shortly.”
Meaning:
  • Ideal current use-cases: short clips, intros, explainers
  • Longer videos may require:
    • Splitting input
    • Batch processing
    • Future updates (in progress)
This transparency helps users avoid confusion during runtime.

​
Best Use Cases

Use the Motion Graphics tile for:
  • Vox-style explainers
  • Educational content
  • Product breakdowns
  • Tutorials & demos
  • Commentary videos
  • Story-driven shorts
  • Infographic storytelling
It boosts retention when explaining complex topics.

​
Pro Tips

  • Provide functional intent (e.g. “help explain talking points”, “highlight key stats”)
  • Provide style + context instead of just style
  • Use reference videos for best results
  • If you need heavy infographic style, enable fullscreen mode
Recommended prompt structure: 
[Style] + [Function] + [Tone] + [Timeline Behavior]
Example:
“Vox-style infographic overlays that highlight statistics during key sentences, clean modern typography, minimal color palette, educational tone.”

​
Output Behavior

Depending on configuration, outputs may include:
  • Overlaid motion graphics on original footage
  • Fullscreen animated sections
  • Mixed mode (overlays + fullscreen inserts)
All results feed into your next tile (e.g. Reframe → Captions → Export).

​
Example Configurations

Explainer style: 
Clean vector infographic overlays with labels and arrows, educational tone.
YouTube short: 
Fast-paced kinetic text and icons, playful tone, highlight key punchlines.
